Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

cant speak for that game. but refs have been horrible the whole playoffs it seems

they dont know how to do thier jobs. they're told to call interference and they'll only call it on one team or not at all. they miss icings and 2 line passes.

just awful.

so i wouldnt be surprised if they were in that game.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

The refs dont know how to do their jobs becaus ethe league was stupid in making so many linesman and refs needed on ice. ( i think its a total of 5 or 6 officials) so that means that the good ones get thinned out, and more refs are being called up from juniour leagues, so they have less time to find out whats a good call and whats not. I think they should revert the system back to what it used to be.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

4 actually i blieve.


and i wasnt talkin bout the newer ones. talkin bout the vetren refs.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Yeah, Bill McCreary is a jackass. Screws the Flyers over in almost every game he refs for them.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Like Mick Magoo(sp?) he has something out for the Canucks when he refs our games, especially Bertuzzi..

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Flyers lose 3-2 tonight. *cries* It's going to be hard as hell for them to climb out of this, but I don't doubt that they can. By the way, their last four losses have come after 2-day breaks in the playoffs, and they've won 6 straight games coming off 1-day breaks...Last two games have one day breaks...Go Flyers.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

What a game. I loved that Primeau, Roenick, Amonte line..and I'm so happy that they won. 1:45 left in the game and they tied it up, crazy! It was pretty physical as well. Bring on game 7 then! I have faith in them.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Yes indeed. Hell of a game. I heard them tie it up, and I was like, "should I listen to OT or go to a performance on campus?" I actually chose the performance because I'm not sure how much I could take...I was totally happy when I came back and checked ESPN.com though. Good job Flyers. Primeau has had a legendary playoff performance, no doubt. I'm busy all of Saturday, so I might not catch any of game 7 either, but oh well, go Flyers.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Primeau is awesome... But I think a Flames/Lightnings finals would be more entertaining.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Even if it wasn't the Flyers playing the Lightning, I still wouldn't want to see the Lightning go to the Stanely Cup Finals. I'm glad that Calgary has made it though, because we haven't seen much out of them for a while.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

I say that the Flyers/Flames series ( if it were to be) would be way better. Because both teams have hard hitters, not saying Tampa doesnt, just that the Flyers utilize their Hard Hitters more often. Plus i think it would be a super entertaining series. Plus i want to see Iginla scrap Roenick.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

well, thats the same tampa tho, havnt seen much from them.
i'm happy to see some new teams make it far. that gets fans from thier area interested and helps the NHL.

Calgary vs Tampa sure wouldnt be good for ratings. but perhaps it will bring in future fans of hockey for thier cities. in the long run it would help.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

See 17th Avenue in Calgary? If they win the Cup, I think that street would be partying for a good week or two.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Well, I don't care for Tampa because I don't think that they should have a team. Florida...hockey....

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

It's all my fault. I should have never said that. I have never hated TAMPA BAY this much before. :mad: :(


Maybe next year....

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!


Calgary up 2-0. **** ya. Short handed by Iginla.

BAM BITCH BAMMIN WHAMMIN

How nice it would be if a Canadian team won the cup.

EDIT EDIT EDIT: ya, nice goal.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

3-0 now. Go Canada Go.

I mean, Go Flames Go.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

The Lightning are finishing their checks a much harder than the Flames.

I demand change!

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

this is the one thing i've never understood about canada. They always want everything to be us vs ca, however they are the only ones that want such and it never turns out that way.

Canada : we won olympic gold!! *celebration lasts weeks long* in your face US!

US: they play hockey in the olympics? :hmm:

--------

national sporting event.
Canada: who do you want to win the championship?

US: oh it doesnt matter, my teams not in it anymore. how bout you?

Canada: Any canadian team so we can beat the americans!

US: :hmm: um. sure, whatever.

--------

hehehe. i actually think most want calgary to win just cuz they're underdogs. so basically everyone is rooting for calgary anyway.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

We want it as a country because the odds are totally against us...we have 6 teams....thats it.....and most of the time they eliminate the others..And maybe.....just maybe, this is a longshot....but maybe we all just really like hockey for the mostpart.

And im only like this for hockey, any other sport i only stand by one team....all the teams i stand by for are canadian...but still, the fact remains. And im pretty sure very few Americans ( besides on this board..yes im generalizing, so dont be a genious and say i am) probably want an American team to win as well...This is pretty much the only sport that Canada and the US play eachother in that we have more than one team...besides lacrosse..


( No i didnt forget the MLB.....the Expos dont count....) :p

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

I wouldn't be surprised if Tampa got sweeped, I thought that might have happened from the beginning. But then again, I wouldn't be shocked if either team won. But Khabibulin looked like a statue last night.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

It is totally not like that. We are rooting for Calgary because they are the only Canadian team left, and we want the cup to return to Canada. We are not making it into a Canada vs. USA thing. Actually, you saying that is the first time I ever heard of Flames vs. TB as Canada vs. America.

In fact, isn't it like 62% of the players in this years finals are Canadian? lol. So if both sides win, its goin to Canadians, but we want the Flames to win so a Canadian team can have the cup for the first time since Montreal did it in 1993.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

hehe. was in general, not really about these finals in particular.

that IS what i was refering to tho. im not saying its a bad thing. i just always find it interesting. :)

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Well, America dominates Football, Basketball and Baseball. Hockey is one of the only major league sports that Canada absolutely OWNS, lol.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

I must quote myself and say i have almost said everything you two are discussing already.... :p

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

did you say something?


:p

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

constantly :cool:

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Well... out of bordom, i present to you all, The Calgary Flames Cheerleading Squad.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Wowee! +rep for the bouncy goodness!

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

that one on the right. she's a showoff, tryin to do her own thing.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

wow.. that is kind of... umm.. weird.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

And by the word weird...do you mean freakeshly awesome and ingenoius? Because if so, i agree, it is F****** weird!!

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Damn cheerleaders didnt do thier job. work harder girls!!!


you think they're distracting the flames players?

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

I think so, maybe you should make them uglier and harrier.....or make them German or something ;)



On second though....no....dont mess with perfection.

But i think its all the one on the ends doing....shes not conforming...

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

And everyone knows how much we hate a women who won't ****ing conform. :)

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Damn great.

Now, if the Calgary players have read this thread this board then they'll know that I betted on 7 games so they'll purposefully lose the next game. It'll be good in the end though.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

HAHAHAHHAHAHA...no way.


I think it might have been Calgarys evil and meniachle plan to lose game 4. Because if they had won, they might have won the cup in Tampa. But now they have a chance to win it in Calgary. *knock on wood*


Go Cowtown!!!

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

I'd just like to say 'damn you' to everyone who chose Calgary in 6, forcing me to be different.



Damn you, you lemmings!!!

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Gotta feel kinda bad for Calgary. thats actually quite sad. they got robbed of a championship on home ice because of a very bad call on that 3rd period goal of thiers.

that was SO in. yet called no goal.

tis a shame, i enjoy watching a team win at home. more fun to see.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Yeah, it was in....Did he intentionally kick it in though? They would have to discuss that as well...
